Fruhvirtova, 130 in the world ranking, beat “Little” Podoroska in three sets 5-7, 6-2, 6-4.
The youngest player to break into the Top 400 in 2021, the Czech had already reached the round of 16 at a WTA 1000 tournament, in Miami, last March.
Linette, 30, benefited from the abandonment, after only three games, of Britain’s Katie Swan (174th), who paid the consequences of her previous quarter-final match against Japan’s Nao Hibino, which ended around three in the morning, in a match in which he had to request a medical timeout due to the heat.
The Pole will seek her third WTA title on Sunday, the first since February 2020, in Hua Hin (Thailand).
